    Dear tutor,

    May I ask a question about qualifying interest paid ?

    Suppose I am a sole trader, I borrowed some money from the bank to buy a plant for my business.

    my sales was 90,000 this year,
    my cost of goods was 40,000,
    and the interest I paid to the bank was 10,000.

    When it comes to Non-saving income( same as total income),
    it is 90,000 – 40,000 – 10,000 = 40,000.
    The 1,000 interest is deducted in trading profit.

    Then, as the 10,000 interest is a qualifying interest paid,
    my net income is 40,000 – 10,000 = 30,000.

    This is my question, why the 10,000 interest is deducted twice ?
    first time in trading profit, second time in qualifying interest paid.

    I dont think it`s right, could you tell me where I am wrong ?

    Thanks.

    The interest payment by the SOLE TRADER is an allowable deduction against the trading profit of the sole trader only – but it is not a qualifying interest payment
